With a keen ear for style and a dash of creative genius Simple Thoughts puts forth a performance to be heard at least once by all.

"....it's no secret that I am not into Hip Hop or Rap, but you are the second artist to make me wonder why. I enjoyed your music. The beat was steady and unique, your vocals were uplifting and lyrics were understandable."
